# Doodle Labs and GCS provided by us

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide assumes, that **you are using whole setup provided by our company,** with **GCS** installed on a device running an OS, like Ubuntu**.**
{% endhint %}

Doodle Labs wearable radio and UAV **are in this case already set up**. You only need to turn on all devices, set up communication on your device and they will connect together automatically.

{% step %}
**Turn on GCS on your device**

Turn on the GCS app.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Turn on Doodle Labs**

1. Turn on your wearable Doodle Labs radio. **Hold power button for 4 seconds** until battery indicator turns on.
2. Wait until radio boots up. Booting up is indicated by all LEDs blinking.

{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Turn on Patron FPV**

1. Turn on Patron FPV **by pressing power button until GPS module starts blinking**.
2. Wait until Patron FPV connects to Doodle Labs. Successful connection is being indicated by steady light of Mesh Rider Indicator (RSSi).
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Set up communication between Doodle Labs and your device**

Doodle Labs radio **does not have a DHCP server configured**, which usually assigns IP addresses automatically. If your GCS is running on an OS, like Ubuntu, a **static IP address needs to be configured for connection**.

Connect your device to Doodle Labs wearable via WiFi.

Set up your desired GCS **IP address** in format `10.223.x.x` .

{% hint style="danger" %}
Every address in `10.223.0.0/16` subnet must be **unique!** Do not use same address on two or more devices!
{% endhint %}

**Netmask:** `255.255.0.0`

Example of Doodle Labs network setup if GCS runs on Ubuntu is following:

You also need to set up GCS IP address in the UAV. Connect your drone to your PC via USB and log in to the UAV. If using Ubuntu, you can access drone's filesystem using command:

```
ssh dcs_user@192.168.55.1
```

and enter password (default password is `dronecore` ).

Now open main config file with location: `/etc/mavlink-router/main.conf`

Configure GCS IP address in main.conf.

After the setup, your device and Doodle Labs should establish connection by themselves. You only need to wait until Wi-Fi indicator's LED changes it's state from slow blinking into steady light. That means, Doodle Labs has successfully established connection with your device.
